They both stole the star after seeing the side effects of the training, but were later caught by the [[Hoshikage]] and his ANBU. The Hoshikage acknowledged their concerns in regards to the star training and had long considered discontinuing it. However, the more militaristic shinobi of the village were likely to reinstate the star training if ever given the chance. The Hoshikage promised to halt the training, but in exchange, asked that Hotarubi and Natsuhi watch [[Hoshigakure|the village]] from afar, should the more aggressive members of the village ever attempt to bring back the star training.
